Roguehealth @Mangan150 said I had a Phd in unemployment and in a few words reframed my last 30yrs.
Maybe I should set up an online 1-year degree course. Millions would be interested because they just f**king hate employment.
I'd call it, 'Unemployable' - no one university has given classes/lectures on that
- how to escape entrapment (a job)
- how to survive with no money
- how to deal with *massive* pressure
- how to deal with being 'a loser'
- what to do whilst unemployed
- turning down work
Other subjects; keeping healthy, coping strategies, serendipity, fear, timidity, opportunity, generating ideas, what to say in company/at parties, self-respect, gaining knowledge, nature as a relief from misery, discovering the hidden city, building your own empire of the mind,
..,expectations, dealing with the void, finding beauty in misery, what you have vs what you are, etc, etc.
Careers advice focuses on employment, but has missed that the most important 'career' is your lifestyle. Making money should fit around your life, not the reverse.

Can confirm. I made ~$60k this way - zero start up cost, zero advertising cost, zero stock, no money invested. All I had was an idea - something I was interested in. I've seen others make far more than this doing the same thing.
The drive was freedom, the vehicle was technology.
It's not abt the sum of money u make as $60k is nothing to many people I know on twitter - it's the satisfaction of living how you want, not having to commute, &the beautiful effects of uncertainty, serendipity, not having an enforced schedule or knowing where you'll be in a year
Further, I am nothing like my friend @jaffer - he is a true old skool entrepreneur; his skills honed in business trench warfare. I am an normal person not an entrepreneur, I think the term entrepreneur puts normal people off - they believe they need an innate business gene..
"All a lockdown does is defer the problem, it doesn't make the problem go away".
Lockdown can have a benefit if it stops society being overwhelmed (+ gives time to implement other strategies) i.e a *short, sharp* measure; but the longer it goes on the worse the -ve effects.
If you take out whether the lockdown was appropriate for this particular virus, and look ONLY at the dynamics of a lockdown; an EMERGENCY life-saving measure is verrrry appropriate but will itself harm the agent if used too long.
View it with regard to anaerobic/lactic energy production - this is an evolutionary life saver, but eventually harms the body (PH imbalance) so must stop.
Life-saving methods are just that - they are appropriate acutely, not chronically.
Yesterday I came across this (newly) deceased pigeon. No sign of how it died.
It's surprising how many city pigeons are tagged, meaning they're owned. I realised it was a racing pigeon...so recorded the tag details (GB19 (Z)****)...
...found out the owner is a member of the Royal Pigeon Racing Assoc (denoted by 'GB') the '19' is the pigeon's birth year.
I'll phone the RPRA and let them know - they'll pass the details on to the owner.
A few years back I found a dead tagged pigeon in a small village in...
Somerset (south west England) - it had a phone number on its tag (apparently, they can also have the phone no. printed on the their wing). I phoned the owner; he told me the bird had been released in Jersey and was making it's way to the Midlands.
You must *purposely* retain the qualities of youth to have a hope of staying young. Avoid inflammation, glycation, high insulin - these insidiously destroy the body. Stay lean.
